Citalopram Compared to Alternatives

For Anxiety and Stress: I HAVE BAD ANXIETY, AND DEPRESSION , FROM PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP.STARTED CITALOPRAM , 7 YEARS AGO, STILL TAKING IT, BEST DRUG , I CANNOT GO A DAY WITHOUT IT. I WORKED IN A HIGH STRESS ER. SO MY DR ADVISED ME NOT TO STOP TAKING IT.MY SIDE EFFECTS ARE SWEATING AND NAUSEA. BUT I CAN DEAL WITH THOSE. LOVE IT!

For Anxiety and Stress: This medicine helped me out so much. I was scared at first and thought, why do I need to be controlled by a pill. Turns out, that pill saved me from doing something crazy and I am much calmer now with a lot of issues I face and things I have to solve. I am not afraid to try things or explore things because of my anxiety. It took a good 3 to 4 weeks before I can tell the difference in my life. Everyone is different with the affects of how long it may take.

For Anxiety and Stress: I have been on 20mg of Celexa since 2012. Celexa works great for anxiety & stress. I have NOT lost my temper from being stressed out for 6 years. I like most people think I am feeling better and have tried to wean myself off Celexa 3 times in the past 6 years but I never make it past 2 weeks before I start having meltdowns. I realized each time I tried to quit taking it afterwards I could not handle all the kids being kids. So I have decided I will have to be on Celexa for the rest of my life. I have not had a moment where I lost my cool with my children in 6 years. I am not saying I harmed my children previously I was just horrible with my mouth towards my children. So if you are reading this and you have similar meltdowns from to much coming at you at once trust me you need Celexa I am proof it works!

For Anxiety and Stress: I’ve been on 10 mg of Celexa for about 6 months now. I remember automatically feeling “happier” after a few days being on it, (placebo effect MAYBE :)) I started to notice I also wouldn’t dwell on things that upset me, I went through a horrid breakup, I remember not thinking as much about my ex and being able to feel more positive and not ruminate on negative thoughts that would typically trigger my anxiety and moodiness. Everyone has different experiences on SSRIs so it’s hard to find the right one. Only issues with this medication was the complete loss of libido and occasional digestive issues, I also suffer from IBS - so If you have a sensitive stomach, this may give you occasional digestive issues? And lots of yawning lol! Other than that, this SSRI was the best I have ever been on, (Zoloft makes me sick and tired..)

For Depression: I've been on 50 mg of sertraline for about four months now and it works, it was prescribed it because I struggle with addiction and hence also depression. I have experience to side effects though the first one is occasionally being unable to climax during sex and the other one is occasional not quite diarrhea but soft stool, with a bubbly feeling in my stomach - it is not all the time, usually just in the morning when I take the medication. But it has completely eradicated my anxiety and made my impulses easier to control definitely worth giving a shot. I wish you the best and God bless

For Depression: 19 yr old male going on 20. Had been suffering from extreme anxiety, depression, paranoia, intrusive thoughts for the best part of a year. Day to day life was a living hell and I rapidly began to lose any motivation and hope I had left. Started on 50mg, probably made things worse for first 4 weeks, upped to 100mg, wouldn't class it as life changing, anxiety and thoughts are still there, but a lot less intense. Much chirpier and can finally engage in day to day life with a lot more ease and comfort without feeling completely messed up and hopeless. Would recommend, just hang on in there. Things do get better.
